The Golden Chain
The family can be viewed as one of the links in a “golden chain” connecting individuals, the private sphere, civil society, and the democratic state; as potentially an important source of energy for social activity; and as the primary institution that socializes and diffuses the values and norms that are of fundamental importance for civil society. Yet much of the literature on civil society pays very little attention to the complex relations between civil society and the family. These two spheres constitute a central element in democratic development and culture and form a counterweight to some of the most distressing aspects of modernity, such as the excessive privatization of home life and the unceasing work-and-spend routines. This volume offers historical perspectives on the role of families and their members in the processes of a liberal and democratic civil society, the question of boundaries and intersections of the private and public domains, and the interventions of state institutions.
Corporatism and Fascism
This book is the first conceptual and comparative empirical work on the relation between corporatism and dictatorships, bringing both fields under a joint conceptual umbrella. It operationalizes the concepts of social and political corporatism, diffusion and critical junctures and their particular application to the study of Fascist-Era dictatorships. The book’s carefully constructed balance between theory and case studies offers an important contribution to the study of dictatorships and corporatism. Through the development of specific indicators in ‘critical junctures’ of regime change and institutionalization, as well as qualitative data based on different sources such as party manifestos, constitutions and constitutional reforms, expert commissions and the legislation that introduces corporatism, this book traces transnational sources of inspiration in different national contexts. By bringing together a number of both established and new voices from across the field, this book will be of interest to students and scholars of fascism, dictatorship and modern European politics.
Remaking Central Europe

Kooperation, Konfrontation, Untergang
Trotz zunehmender Verbreitung des Tarifvertrags seit der Jahrhundertwende war dessen rechtliche Fixierung im kaiserlichen Deutschland ausgeblieben. Dieser rechtliche Schwebezustand war auf die Dauer unbefriedigend und wurde nach dem Zusammenbruch des Kaiserreiches beseitigt. Das Besondere am Weimarer Tarifwesen war die starke Stellung des Staates im Schlichtungsproze�. Das tripartistische Schlichtungsmodell sicherte dem Staat zwar einen nicht unerheblichen Einflu� auf die Gestaltung der Arbeitsverh�ltnisse, fuehrte jedoch unweigerlich zu Konflikten mit den Tarifparteien. Staatskrise, Weltwirtschaftskrise und Machtergreifung waren die Muehlsteine, zwischen die das Weimarer Tarif- und Schlichtungswesen in der Endphase der Republik geriet und durch die es letztlich zerrieben wurde. Zweck dieser Untersuchung ist es, diesen Verfallsproze� im Spannungsfeld zwischen Gewerkschaften, Arbeitgebern und Regierung darzustellen und den Motiven und Absichten der an dieser Entwicklung Beteiligten nachzuspueren.

Interwar Vienna
Although beset by social, political, and economic instabilities, interwar Vienna was an exhilarating place, with pioneering developments in the arts and innovations in the social sphere. Research on the period long saw the city as a mere shadow of its former imperial self; more recently it has concentrated on high-profile individual figures or party politics. This volume of new essays widens the view, stretching disciplinary boundaries to consider the cultural and social movements that shaped the city. The collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire resulted not in an abandonment of the arts, but rather led to new forms of expression that were nevertheless conditioned by the legacies of earlier ...
The Evolution of Intermediary Institutions in Europe
This book investigates the consecutive shifts between three types of intermediary institutions in the European context: Corporatist, Neo-corporatist and Governance institutions. It does so by combining insights from European Political Economy; European Integration and governance studies; and, socio-legal studies in the European context.
